Thank you. His blood work was normal in November. But I’ll definitely have them recheck it when we go back. Do you have a recommendation on a good brand of concentrated minerals?

Hi All - Just wanted to give an update. Spike is better but he does still twitch. He went back to the vet for a follow up in January, he didn’t twitch for her and she said he was in good health with no parasites. She recommended just to monitor his twitching and adjust his calcium if he starts...

Yeah there really is a lot of bad info. The stores don’t help either. His new hammock came in. Bigger than I expected so I had to do some modifications but he’s enjoying it! Giving me the judgmental eye this morning for not doing this sooner! Haha! I’ll update again soon!

Great thank you so much! I just measured and he’s about 8 inches from the light. thank you! So he basks pretty much all day right now. He loves his hammock so much he doesn’t go under his rock much at all. I have the bulb right next to the heat dome and have both as much directly over him as...

Hi all!!! The new Arcadia bulb kit just arrived today!!!! I was so anxious waiting for it! He has a higher watt basking bulb in and his temps have been reading around 94/97. I’ll buy a probe thermometer this weekend. His cloth hammocks have been ordered and they’ll be here this weekend...

No it’s just one that sticks to the side. Is there one you can recommend? Oh shoot really? I’m doing everything wrong. I’ll order him one right now. He absolutely loves hammocks. Thanks for the links.

Ok. Thank you. Yeah I bought the same basking light as the one I had but at 100W. Here is the temp now. Should I go get a 150W? Or does that look ok? That’s usually where he basks all the time which his why I put his thermometer at that level. His light just went off so I’ll keep an eye on the...

Ok thanks. Yeah I bought the same basking light like the one I had but 100W.

Thank you everyone! I went to petsmart and they were of course out of the reptisun and the Arcadia. But I ordered the Arcadia on the website so hopefully I’ll get it soon. I bought the 100W heat bulb. I know you mentioned it but I want to double check…once I get the Arcadia bulb set up I can...

His temps are usually in the mid 80s. Although they were registering higher with the old thermometer I had so I’m wondering if this new one isn’t very good. So what do you recommend for a heat lamp for a screen top? I saw the suggestions for the uvb bulb. I’ll definitely switch to the long...

Ok thank you. I’ll switch to the bulb recommended. In answer to your other questions. Yes, he can walk well, granted he isn’t an active guy. He’s always been on the lazy side. His color is bright. No black bearding. The vet told me not to use the calcium with the Vit D3. She said they don’t...

Sure. This is my

Ok great! I’ll switch. We had one at one point but it broke and was difficult with the screen. I’ll try a different one than what we had before. Thank you!

Ohhh ok. So the one I have is wrong? I’m so upset. I thought I was getting the right thing. I will switch it to what was suggested immediately.

How would I know? Honestly I haven’t heard if mvb.

Oh yeah, we open the window and there is a screen there. Unfortunately we don’t get to do this often. He enjoys it but we can only do it on a weekend that it’s sunny. Being outside absolutely terrifies him so we stopped doing that.

On a side note. He rarely goes to his cool side. Only to poop so that’s why have have his uvb right next to the basking lamp. He loves his hammock and spends most of his time there. If I need to take more pictures let me know and I’m happy to. We have done the long uvb bulbs in the past but...

Sure! sure! This is the bulb I just put in there. It’s the same one I’ve been using. I replace them every 6 months. Per vet instructions I gave him calcium (without vit d) every day for a week then every other day for a week. Currently it’s been past the second week so I’m sticking to the...

Here is a YouTube link for the twitching. Hopefully it’ll show up. He has a dome light. It’s a exo-terra 150 uvb bulb. It sits on the top of one of those metal tank screens. Am I doing something wrong? We’ve used this set up for a long time. I’ll do whatever I need to do if I do something...
